The Emergency Medicine Resident Podcast is dedicated to all things for and about the emergency medicine resident, and is a resource for emergency medicine educators. Our goal is to give you everything you need to succeed in residency and beyond, while giving educators a place to go for educational content.

In episode 2, I talk with Dr. Erik Kochert to answer the age old question of why residents have to do research. Trust me, it's not just to hurt you. There's a method to the madness, and Dr. Kochert explains it all.
